How do I overcome my fear of birds, rodents, and sometimes cats?
Written by admin on March 16, 2010 – 1:39 pm -Hi,
I really have a problem with holding animals that really scratch or bite, and sometimes react easily to little sounds or movements, such as cats, rodents, and especially birds (because they are unpredictable and they move their wings a lot). I don’t meant that I don’t like these animals, on the contrary, I really like them a lot I just kind of have a fear of holding them. Please help me
Thanks!

Japanese scientists create mice with no fear of cats
Written by admin on March 16, 2010 – 1:39 pm -
om and Jerry just wouldn’t have been the same if it had featured one of Ko Kobayakawa’s mice. The Tokyo University professor has just unveiled mutant mice that have lost their innate fear of cats. Rather than flee or freeze when confronted with their feline enemy, the mice sniffed and even played with them, blissfully unaware of the potential dangers. Kobayakawa developed the fearless mice by shutting down receptors in their olfactory bulb – the area of the brain that processes information about smells – which would normally induce panic as soon as they get so much as a whiff of a cat.
